On June 3, GameStop rose 9.46% in after-hours trading, trading at $23.35/share, with trading volume of approximately $2.99 million.

On the news front, GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen is aggressively advancing the $56 billion acquisition bid for eBay. Despite the offer being rejected by eBay's board, GameStop has rapidly increased its stake in eBay from 5% to 7.8%, while simultaneously proposing to raise authorized common shares from 1 billion to 2.5 billion to reserve financing capacity for the deal.

The company plans to deploy $9.4 billion in cash reserves combined with a high-confidence debt financing commitment of up to $20 billion from TD Bank. Cohen has publicly criticized eBay's long-term capital allocation strategy, projecting $2 billion in annual operating cost savings within 12 months post-merger. GameStop also intends to convert its approximately 1,600 remaining retail stores into local receiving, fulfillment, and live-commerce authentication centers for eBay's collectibles business. Market participants now anticipate a proxy fight to push the transaction directly to eBay shareholders.
